A little progress

This seems to have been a slow month for me , but I am plugging away behind the scenes and have two small accomplishments to share . First off the March Bom from Bunnyhill Designs which are meant to be ornaments but I chose to make a mini quilt instead .

I love my sheep , it is wool as well as the snowman , the heart is a homespun as well as the border both from my scrap bag , yeah !
Next I finished the mystery BOM by Buttermilk Basin for March , these are such fun to make , quick and easy , wool on cotton .

The colours are a bit off , the beehive is much darker than it appears here . Wonder what the April block will be ? Thanks to Stacey for providing these blocks each month .
I am working away on my Charming stars quilt when I get a minute , I can honestly say that machine quilting a large quilt is not my favorite thing to do , quite a challenge . I am making progress so I guess that is good news and I also have quite a bit done on my sampler that I am hand quilting , just one full row to go now , happy, happy !
Well that is all from me today , hope the world is treating you right , have a wonderful day and thanks ever so much for stopping by.
hugs Sheila

Love the little bee hive! What are you doing with those small ones? Quilting a quilt on a machine is a pile of work. I think we tend to make the stitching denser because it should be easier to do on the machine, which makes it twice as much work. But I bet you will be happy with the results when you are done.

sew cute! still on my list of to do's..... working with wool I keep seeing your projects and I get inspired to take it off the back burner and into my hands.thanks sew much for sharing and keeping me inspired

Slow and easy wins the race! Is that the correct saying? Your blocks are sweet. I look forward to seeing the next one. Machine quilting a larger quilt does take some time, and a lot of patience! Just work at it in small chunks of time and take lots of breaks. When you are finally finished, you'll be so pleased! xo

Hi Sheila, KaHolly told me about your blog and I came for a visit. I'm also doing the same Bunny Hill and Buttermilk Basin BOM. IM DOING MY Bunny Hill ones as blocks also, not sure if they will be a big quilt also.

I'm also a member of the Facebook wool applique group and they have an ornament of the month freebie thanks to Trish Harriman of Attic Heirlooms. If you go to her shop you might be able to get both the March and April OOM free. She posts them for just w month.
